Olympus cameras are generally characterized by the fact to provide already OOC (directly from the camera, without finishing) excellent JPG image files, and that's here like this. Who is activated the over- and under-exposure warning and possibly observed rarely see wayward photos. But friends of digital image editing programs are also not too short and can of course also take pictures in RAW, and then develop the raw data either commercially available converters or the enclosed Oly viewer further.
Very good for a bridge camera is super fast and accurate auto focus in combination with the continuous shooting mode of 7 fps. The Stylus 1 it creates problems to keep racing dogs in autofocus. Very helpful for this is the excellent, large electronic viewfinder. However, the camera display is a high resolution, sharp and foldable, so that focusing is possible even more. With the shortest possible shutter speed of 1 / 2000stel can be recorded even flying birds. The foldable monitor enables exciting photos from ground level without the photographer must lie down to. As an example, I have even a photo from a series of photos of a sharp attached to me running dog that is unprocessed, simply cut into shapes.
The retro housing the stylus 1 is the DSLM cameras modeled by Olympus. At first glance, the bridge acts as a full-blown DSLM and is not particularly small - Jack Pocket fit this bridge camera is no longer. However, the lens extends almost entirely a when the camera is turned off. Here, slats close to the lens - a clever solution and much better than the usual camera cover. One advantage of not too dainty design is that the camera is firmly grip with larger hands.
The Olympus Stylus 1 offers beginners and advanced photographers a lot of possibilities. 12 different scene modes give beginners the possibility to adjust the camera even without technical knowledge to any situation. Romp playfulness can be wonderfully with the kind of filters that miss the photos different looks already equal in the camera. Features like photo story are a really nice gimmick for Social Media.
Experienced photographers are the manual mode "M" prefer. However, if you also needed Car ISO in M mode, should resort to "S". A BULB mode, and the ability of different HDR modes are available. The camera menu is - as with Olympus usual - very extensive konfigirierbar. It is gratifying that Olympus has the Stylus 1 last software update partly filled with inter alia a small focal area, so that now even more precise to focus is possible.
The stylus has a built-in flash, but can also control external flashes automatically or manually.
Encouraging long the battery lasts, however it makes sense to take example on long hikes replacement batteries. With me Patona batteries have proved - they cost only one-third of the original batteries with the same power. Olympus recommends as a memory card Toshiba SDHC UHS-I Card R95 W80 model Premiugate Series "Class 10" to use, allowing the camera to show her potential performance as well.
Those who want to use a wide conversion lens attachments or I recommend the original adapter of Olympus, two different lengths Converter Adapter are available there and are required depending on whether you want to adapt the Wide angle or telephoto range.
As already described here also I think the Olympus Stylus 1 for the best overall package under the bridge cameras and would like to express a strong buy recommendation ..
